Battle Log

Monday 27 June 2016

It was cold and windy at Capalaba during our weekly outreach there. One of the usual team members wasn't able to make it, but God graciously brought along two new labourers. So we had four of us in total.

It was great to see the team get into some extensive gospel conversations with the people waiting for their bus, some that went for half an hour!

After someone came off a bus that had arrived, I offered him a gospel tract and asked if he thinks he'll go to heaven. This guy recognised me, saying, "Did you know you spoke to me 2 years ago right here." I didn't really remember him but I asked if he remembers what we talked about.

He said, "I remember realising that I deserved to be sent to hell, and that I need to trust in Jesus, and then start reading the Bible everyday. In fact, after that conversation I started reading the Bible - I actually read half the Bible, but then uni got too busy and then I stopped reading it."

This provided then a great opportunity for me to recap the message with him, emphasizing that it's the finished work of Jesus' on the cross that saves us, and that we need to trust in Him alone, which will result in us then wanting to live the rest of our lives for Jesus. I also encouraged him to count the cost of following Jesus.

He was listening intently and my prayer is that he will come to saving faith in Christ. His name is Zac.
